    For me it's kettlebells. I really feel it in my legs and it's very intense so I burn a lot of calories in a short time. I also love the Pilates portion of Jennifer Kries Perfect Mix. Even after a few workouts my legs feel slimmer and more toned.

    Make sure you are doing enough cardio and mixing in legs as much as possible. It's hard to spot reduce, but you can do machine weights, lunges, squats, etc. Don't be afraid of weights. YOu have to have muscle to burn fat and calories.

    Slim in 6 is awesome for burning fat and slimming and strengthening your legs. I've done it before, and I'll do it again. Right now, I'm doing P90X. I think the two programs complement each other nicely, but the SI6 does amazing things for legs.

    I've found Yahoo! Health to be a good resource for health and fitness. Here's a link to an article that relates to this topic:

    All About YOU: Spot the Myth

    Will leg lifts thin your thighs? Can sit-ups tame tummy fat?

    Unfortunately, spot reduction is a long-cherished myth. In fact, doing hundreds of leg lifts, lunges, or squats in the absence of a well-balanced exercise program is more likely to increase the definition in -- and size of -- your thighs by adding muscle. Still, there's nothing wrong with more muscle. It looks and feels great! But for allover size reduction, do lots of stamina exercises along with the resistance workouts.

    You cannot determine which areas of your body will lose fat or in what proportion they will lose fat, compared to other areas. Think of someone you know who has lost weight. Many people actually lose weight in the face first. But have you ever heard of someone doing facial crunches?

    The best way to get rid of unwanted fat in any area is to do resistance exercises three times a week and engage in frequent cardiovascular exercise -- the kind that gets you sweaty and a little out of breath. This can help you lose weight and shrink your entire body -- particularly your waist, a key area to reduce if you want to save yourself from high cholesterol, high blood sugar, and heart disease. Learn why your waist size matters.

    RealAge Benefit: Doing stamina-building exercises -- like brisk walking, jogging, or swimming -- for at least 60 minutes per week can make your RealAge as much as 6.4 years younger.
